Holy Basil Anxiety Randomized TrialResults At day 60, both VL-G-A57 and VL-G-E12 significantly reduced Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) scores compared to placebo (p Conclusion The study concluded that both VL-G-A57 and VL-G-E12 were associated with reductions in stress, fatigue, and anxiety while improving mood and sleep quality.2McKinney E (2026)Effects of multi-herb and ashwagandha root formulas on stress modulation: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study.
Holy Basil Anxiety Randomized TrialBackground Chronic stress is detrimental to the maintenance of the main response system - the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.2McKinney E (2026)Effects of multi-herb and ashwagandha root formulas on stress modulation: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study.
Holy Basil Anxiety Randomized TrialThe current study aimed to investigate the efficacy of two plant-based adaptogens, a formula containing Rhodiola, holy basil and Schisandra chinensis (VL-G-A57) and a full-spectrum ashwagandha (VL-G-E12), on stress and related symptoms in individuals with high stress.2McKinney E (2026)Effects of multi-herb and ashwagandha root formulas on stress modulation: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study.
